1) Message boards : : Number crunching : Long Running Work Units
Posted 1376 days ago by m.mitch

I tried suspending the work but the they kept running, leaving me with four processes running on the dual core box. Unfortunately for me, I didn't notice that until some hours latter.

Naturally, the stalled Chess work units were taking more than their fair share, leaving only between 10% and 12% for the other projects.

I manually killed them off with a kill -11 (Linux) command. When I restarted them, they reset the counter to zero, increased the estimated time to completion to 8 or hours and immediately fell into the original problematic operation.

I've terminated all those work units and will wait a bit and see if the next batch are okay.

Thanks for the advice.

Has anyone heard anything about work units running for 5 hours and not incrementing the "Percent Done" and the "Time To Completion" keeps increasing?

Do these work units ever end?

Has there been any work in the last three months?

Any chance of an update on the work unit situation?

By any measure Aussie Assault 9 (AA9) on QMC has been a fantastic success!!

Even though AA9 is officially over, the team has just passed 10 million credits in QMC, the last 5 million all in the last 18 days. That is an enormous amount of science crunched.

The team's daily output should have started winding down to about double its pre-AA levels, about 50,000 a day, but we are still seeing around 250,000 a day. Not to bad for QMC.

It should start to drop in the next week or so but the project has caught the interest of many BOINC@AUSTRALIA members. That's another great side affect of the AA's.

The next event starts on 10 December 2007.
